Back-end Development

Every web or mobile app has 2 parts: a front-end and a back-end. The front-end is what the user sees and interacts with. The back-end is where the data gets processed and stored.

The average salary for a back-end developer is $121,112 per year in the United States.

Here are the courses I've created for anyone pursuing a career as a professional back-end developer.

Core Skills

These are the skills that are listed in most job descriptions. Every back-end developer must know how to work with databases, version their code using Git, collaborate with others using GitHub and potentially ship software using Docker.

Languages and Frameworks
